18. Steroids

can effect bones if taken for a long period of time and I also wonder if it can affect the tendons. I have osteopenia because I have had to take prednisone since my late teens for rheumatoid arthritis. My rheumatologist told me when you get to the age and younger, it is not unusual to tear the rotator cuff. Both of mine have been torn over the years. Luckily not so bad I need surgery—yet.
